I would rather be watching four humans travelling to the moon than four aircraft carriers travelling to the Gulf.

>> free raises as the exchange rates plummet

Also developers use official exchange rate while everything is imported using market rate. 10% cut here.

>> the cost of living in Ukraine was low before the war and only got lower

This is not true. Some low skilled services are cheap, but high skilled are not.

Or are you talking about cost of housing near the frontline?

Dev salaries in Ukraine also down since the start of the war as no new projects are outsourced to the country.


>> At this point might as well just play strategy video game and call it a day?

Do you agree in case your team lose to be relocated to the remote territory and also be stripped of your language, history and national identity?


This is American way. There are no people, only resources.

Literally, "Human Resources". Such a disgusting phrase.

How expensive in comparison to the nuclear submarines or nuclear carriers?

The Apollo program cost about as much as 22 Gerald Ford class nuclear carriers.

Amortized over the whole program, each launch cost the same as building 2 Gerald Ford class nuclear carriers, or $26 billion USD.


> How expensive in comparison to the nuclear submarines or nuclear carriers?

SLS already costs about as much as a nuclear submarine. Per launch.


At its peak the Apollo program was about 6% of US GDP.

About 4% of the federal budget and 6% of discretionary spending at its peak, not of GDP.

Still a very high number, but nowhere near the military-budget-levels you're talking about.


The software is optimized for the machines used by developers. If you have latest MacBook pro max super ultra you are fine.

Contrary, I've been issued a virtual machine with 4 cores and no GPU. It takes 15 seconds for web app to render a table in the browser.


It's a common knowledge that people who post such comments are on putin's payrol.

Where do I collect me check? I have been doing this for free for a long time!

Southern hemisphere receives roughly the same amount of sunlight as northern.

Solar is a win everywhere with a sunny weather.


But land is not distributed equally in the two hemispheres. In the southern hemisphere it's generally concentrated near the equator, where it gets more sunlight.

Depends on who is shoving it. If Apple - people will happily eat everything, but not from Microsoft.


It has never been serious about security, quality and performance. Only new sloppy features. And now everyone is bragging on LinkedIn how fast they create more slop: "Look, CC generated thousands lines of code for me! Approve and merge!"
